Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1990. The first online bank opened in 1994. In 1995, Amazon started operating and is now one of the largest online shopping malls. Then in 1996, eBay started its online shopping site.  By sitting at home you can now buy anything from knives to cars. The worry you may have about traveling and parking can be avoided while you shop online. With online shopping, you need not worry about the weather. Online shops have no holidays, closing times or any other problems. You can shop 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. Some online shops also keep customers opinions about each product, so you can easily find out what other customers think about the product before buying it.  When you go for real-world shopping, you can actually touch and feel it, but in online shopping you can only see the pictures. Also if you are shopping online, you have to be careful with your credit cards. The first step in online shopping is to search for what you want to buy. Once you find the required product, put it in a “shopping cart” and continue shopping. After you have got enough in your “shopping cart”, check out the product. You can add or take out the products in your shopping cart. The next step is to login(登录) using a user name and a password. Enter the address where you want the product to be sent. Some sites even ask for your email, phone numbers, etc. Then wait for the confirmation(确认)of your order. You can also cancel the order if needed. Online shopping is a different experience and you can make shopping online easy when you get used to it.21.

It is something for myself to say 'this is a rock from the top',"Jordan Romero from California,told reporters in Kathmandu.He left for the mountain on Sunday.     If he succeeds,Romero will become the youngest climber to climb the 8,850 meters Everest Summit.Currently a 16-year-old Nepali boy,Temba Tsheri Sherpa,holds the record of being the world's youngest climber of Mount Everest.     But Romero,sitting over lunch with his climbing father and stepmother in Kathmandu's tourist district of Thamel,said he was not after setting climbing records.Romero said Mount Qomolangma,that runs across Nepal-China border,was part of his goal to climb the highest mountains on all seven continents.     "It is just a goal," he said confidently."If I don't succeed I am okay.I will try again."Romero has already climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa and Mount McKinley in Alaska among others.     Romero's father Paul said the boy was ready to take on the climb and understood the risk of climbing the giant mountain.     "I know it requires a lot of patience.I will remain patient.I want to stay safe and make right choice," Romero said of his climb using the northeast ridge (山脊) route on the Chinese side of the mountain.     Over 4,000 climbers have reached the top of Mount Qomolangma since it was first climbed by New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary and Nepal's Tenzing Norgay Sherpa in 1953.Romero said he wanted to climb the highest mountains in all 50 states in the US next."It does not need to be after Qomolangma and could be in between."24.

Romero has climbed up all the highest mountains in all 50 states in the USB. the highest mountain in America is Mount KilimanjaroC.

It can come from the places we live and the lifestyles we choose.In a recent survey, 60 percent of respondents（被调查者）said the city in which they live is noisier now than five years ago. The other 40 percent? They didnt hear the question.How much stress do you feel? Though not all stress should be avoided, too much pressure can cause lasting harm in practically every area of your life. The solution is to take control.Robert Reich did just that. As Secretary of Labor in the Clinton cabinet(内阁),Robert B. Reich, told of his decision to resign from the stressful job. He said,“I have the best job Ive ever had and probably ever will. No topping it.”It was true. He seemed to love his job. But he added, “I also have the best family Ill ever have, and I cant get enough of them.”And there was the problem too much of a good thing. He could not give himself to his family and to this particular career at the same time.So Reich said,“I had to choose, I told the boss Ill be leaving, and explained why.” His boss, of course, was the president of the United States. And the country took notice. Some people were surprised. Here was a high government official who made a decision to step out of an important and powerful position in order to spend more time at home. He took control.That is the first step to free ourselves from unnecessary stress: take control. Make the hard decision. It may be a decision for less money, a smaller home, a new location, a different job, less prestige（声望），or a simpler lifestyle. But I believe: it will be a decision you will never regret.28. According to the passage, where might the stress come from?A. The place we live and the lifestyles we choose. B. Family.C. Work. D. All of the above.29. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. No stress should be avoided.B. The only solution to stress is to take control.C. Now the city is as noisy as what it was five years ago.D. Too much pressure is bad for our health.30. The best title for the passage should be .A. Stress can do harm to our life. B. Taking control of stress.C. Robert Reichs decision to resign. D. Giving more time to our family.31. The authors attitude to Robert Reichs resignation is _ .A. worried B. supportive C. doubtful D. SurprisedDMost people who own iPhones use them as their alarm clock  making it  easy to check emails one last time before falling asleep and hard to ever feel unplugged from work and social net-works.Several years ago my boss，Arianna，passed out from exhaustion after staying up late to  catch up on work. She banged her head on the way down and ended up with five stitches(缝线)  and became what she calls a "sleep evangelist." Now she leaves her phone charging in  another room when she goes to bed and encourages friends to do the same."I sent all my friends the same Christmas gift  a Pottery Barn alarm clock  so they could stop using the excuse that they needed their very tempting iPhone by their bed to wake them up in the morning," she said.If your phone wakes you up in the morning, it may also be keeping you up at night. A 2008 study showed that people exposed to mobile radiation took longer to fall asleep and spent less  time in deep sleep."The study indicates that during laboratory exposure to 884 MHz wireless signals components of sleep believed to be important for recovery from daily wear and tear are adversely affected," the study concluded.A quarter of young people feel like they must be available by phone around the clock, according to a Swedish study. The itch to check in at all hours of the night or wake up to the sound of a text message disrupts our sleep, too.Most of us choose not to set limits on our nighttime availability. Nearly three-quarters of people from the age of 18 to 44 sleep with their phones within reach, according to a 2013study.  That number falls off slightly in middle age, but only in people 65 and older leave the phone in an-other room as common as sleeping right next it.32.
